Here are some of the biggest games that were set to be brilliant but turned out to be disappointing.

Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

Dusk Golem claims a Resident Evil 5 remake is not coming this year, with a Code Veronica remake expected instead.
Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.
I'd add Brink to that list. That and Dead Island are the biggest letdowns of the generation so far for me.
Duke Nukem
If you really think about it, Grand Theft Auto IV was a huge let down.
I think RE:ORC was a huge recent letdown.
I still laugh when people call Dead Island a disappointment because they got themselves excited over a CGI launch trailer.
Of course the game wasn't going to look like that, you'd have to be half retarded to think it would. And for the record I had a blast in Dead Island playing with a buddy. Can't wait for the sequel.
